Drinking Coffee Lowers Your Risk of Malignant Melanoma, Says Study

A cup of joe in the morning may not only be a kick starter for the day but also an aid in the fight against cancer. Researchers are finding that drinking coffee regularly may reduce the risk for malignant melanomas - one of the deadliest forms of cancer.

The study was conducted by scientists from the U.S. government's health research department. They followed over 450 thousand men and women with an average age of 63 for over a decade. At the end of the study, 3,000 of the subjects were diagnosed with cancer but among those who drank caffeinated coffee, 90 percent of them were cancer-free.
